Information management systems and methods can be used with at least one
pharmaceutical compounding device. The systems and methods comprise a
controller coupled to the compounding device. A compounding control
manager resides on the controller to receive compounding order input and
generate control commands to the compounding device based, at least in
part, upon the compounding order input. An order process control manager
is in data communication with the compounding control manager to
communicate compounding order input to the compounding control manager.
The order entry process manager includes an order function for receiving
entry of compounding order input through a browser-based interface. The
browser-based interface can include an order entry workstation separate
from the compounding device, or a network of order entry workstations
separate from the compounding device, or can reside on the controller.
